I'm not keen on the black either but it shows promise.. Apart from the door count

Thanks Watts I will use the hyperlink next time - much easier to see!

Like said loved all the features close up and the stance is definitely more ground hugging or that was the perception- the black is like a cloak to the features though, black worked ok on the MK7 but the more the styling the less attractive the colour as you want them features to pop

But it was a good first look in flesh, very happy chose it now 😊

[Hertsman]

Really not sure I like that in black.

The stance it has is lovely and the close up the features really work but agree that the black negates them features way too much and the lighter colours will make them pop more - think the grey will look really good

Also you have to remember this is has just arrived and will look a lot better when prepped and in showroom

But was nice to actually see one and loved what saw aside from the colour

Think the transporter grey (sorry) will look epic. There seems to be a few appearing now. Wonder how rare they’ll actually be? I never saw another edition 35 while I had mine and have only seen 3 CS on the road aside from the ones I’ve driven.

Have never seen one in flesh and lookout for them, which is a good thing for owners of course

That used to be a problem with RS4 bucket seats getting stolen. Can't see them being £12k though?

They're probably that price purely to dissuade people upgrading. A while back, R dash trim pieces were silly money vs GTI prices - again, probably to dissuade would be modders.

They took my chassis number and I was referred by the head of sales so knew I wasn't a modder. I said it was for insurance in the event of a claim to ensure I had cover under the agreed policy. Still £13,500. They justified it on the basis that they didn't carry stocks of the assembled item and being a limited part.

Did you check out with your insurers whether this had any impact ?

Why black? All the accents are lost. The mirror casing looks terrible on a black car, like it wasn’t finished.

Checked policy, won’t be an issue but expect they would write it off and pay agreed value or scalp me on the premium the following year.

My local dealer has had one in showroom for couple weeks now, been down to see it twice and it is even nicer in the flesh.
We had the chance to order one back in Feb but I backed out much to the annoyance of my wife, now that 3 door is not available to order anymore I am utterly frustrated with VW

No more 3 door officially? I hadn’t clocked the TCR was 5 door only.

I hadn't clocked that either, so no more 3 door Golf on the Mk7.5 and I'm sure the Mk8 won't be either.

How believable is the vw app at progress tracking? I just moved to ‘with the factory’.
